JM and I have wanted to go to the west coast for a while. We thought about going to San Francisco for our honeymoon, but we decided on a Euro-trip instead [I just realized I never posted about that - fail]. Even though our anniversary is in December, it's easier for us to get out of town after the holidays. So this year for our 1 year anniversary we still wanted to do something special and flew from our little home in northeast North Carolina across-country to the beautiful city of San Francisco! We stayed in the Days Inn in Hayes Valley, very affordable and in a beautiful area. Our favorite restaurant was the Grove in Hayes valley. We ate there on more than one occasion! We rented a car for a few days and it was the best decision we could have made. We traveled up to Napa Valley and on Sunday down to Santa Clara to visit South Bay Church - a church very dear to us that our mentors started a few years ago in the Bay area. It was a blessing to sit down and visit with the people that had a huge impact in our Christian walk.
We walked most of the city!
Here's our trip in photos. Enjoy!

The one and only Golden Gate Bridge!
We were too cheap to ride the trolly, so we walked up hill instead!
